In a recent interview with AMP 92.3, a radio station in New York, Skrillex discussed many topics including Justin Bieber, Meek Mill and Drake, Jack U and Deadmau5.
When asked about Deadmau5‘s parody version of Jack U‘s hit single ‘Where Are U Now‘, Skrillex said he loves the track, but goes on to explain himself
I’ll always have love for Joel because he put me on at an early time, but he’s an asshole. And everyone knows that, and he knows that. And that’s kinda his thing. I mean, the one thing that is unfortunate about it is that he has a record label. And when you have a record label, you gotta be a leader. And he has people that are like signed to him. And I couldn’t imagine being a leader, you know, going out in the public image being such a negative attitude…I don’t take it personally because I’m secure with myself and what I do, I love what I do. But I almost feel bad that that’s his one way of getting attention rather than going into music and curating. I think his attitude’s changed over the last couple years. I personally have become less connected to his music because his personality is almost overshadowing that, when he is such an incredible artist.
Check out the full interview below.
Now, we all know Deadmau5 isn’t one to back down from voicing his opinion on anything said about him, and so he did. After a fan asked him about his thoughts regarding Skrillex’s comments, Zimmerman went on a multi tweet rant on the same.
